MacBook Air

• MacBook Air with M1 Chip
• MacBook Air with M2 Chip

MacBook Pro

• 13-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Chip
• 14-inch Macbook Pro or 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro Chip and M1 Max Chip

To give you an idea, 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros start at over AED 8499. Why is this?

These MacBook Pros are aimed at the professional sector that needs the most powerful processor in Mac’s history, the most advanced screen, and a storage capacity as large as 8TB.

MacBook Pro: Both have the M2 Chip

Now let's compare and see the differences between the MacBook Air vs. the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Both have the same processor, the Apple M2 Chip.

This means that with either one, you can perform the same tasks with high-speed performance.

So performance is the same on MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro?

In short-term tasks, yes. Let us explain. The MacBook Air is a super-quiet Mac, as it is fanless thanks to the efficiency of the M2 chip. The MacBook Pro still has the fan to give you more performance over extended periods of use.

If you're going to be using your Mac for professional video editing, 3D rendering, and long hours of intense work, we recommend the MacBook Pro, as it will be able to keep up with the pace much better than the MacBook Air.

If, on the other hand, you're looking for a Mac for everyday use and you're confident that when you need maximum performance, the MacBook Air is the model for you.

MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro: Design

The differences are apparent between the MacBook Air M2 and MacBook Pro M2. The MacBook Air M2 will get a design refresh in 2022. On the other hand, the MacBook Pro will keep the design introduced in 2020.

• The MacBook Air comes in four colours, while the MacBook Pro is available in two.
• The MacBook Air is thinner, slimmer, and charges via MagSafe. A more tangle-resistant magnetic fabric cable. And, if you trip over the cable, it will release itself to prevent your MacBook Air from falling to the floor.
• The MacBook Air has four speakers vs. two in the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Air camera also doubles in resolution.

MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro: Display and brightness

The screen sizes are roughly the same when comparing the MacBook Air vs. the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro is 13.3-inch, and the MacBook Air is 13.6-inch.

Both are excellent, for example, for professional photo editing, thanks to their perfect calibration, and they have the same brightness level.

The difference is in its shape - the MacBook Air has a new design with rounded corners and thinner bezels. The result? A larger screen in a more compact device.

MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro: Which one is for me?

• The MacBook Air M2 is for you if you want a complete Mac with an all-new design and incredible performance.
• The 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 chip is perfect for those looking for sustained performance, thanks to its fan and 10-core graphics on the entry-level model. Higher-end options such as the 512GB MacBook Pro are priced lower than the MacBook Air because of the traditional design.
